Righteous! I love the concentric rings on the lower bout (E-string side)!

Is it safe to rest the bass on the two little prongs?

A gorgeous bass, Charles. But wait, if it's the electronics that defines the bass (see Adriaan's post early in this thread), then wouldn't it be a Series I with a body typical of a Distillate?

Thanks Terry!I really would like to defer to Mica regarding what actually defines a Distillate. Mine is a Series I custom Distillate. But looking at the older photos of distillates, the common characteristics (it seems for me)flat bottom, longer upper horn, from there it's like a what your imagination calls for configuration But then again I would really defer to the creators. Mica,are you in da house?

Is there a D in your serial number, Chalie?
